Thousands to Pay Tribute to Dr. Washington REV. HENRY B. THOMAS REV. HENRY B. THOMAS, THE OPTIMISTIC YOUNG CLERGYMAN WHO IS DOING THINGS AT SANTA BARBARA AND IN ALL WALKS WHERE HIS INFLUENCE REACHES. Rev. Thomas is pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist church, located at Santa Barbara, and moderator of the Western Baptist Association. In both places he has made his influence felt. Rev. Thomas came to California in August of 1910 and took charge at Santa Barbara the first of September, 1910. The church at that time was a newly organized body with no permanent place in which to worship. But since that time under the leadership of Rev. Thomas the church has increased in membership two fold with a Sunday School, B. Y. P. U. and Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society that compares favorably with any in the state; has bought property and erected a church house at a cost of $4,500.00 and is now out of debt. The financial and success otherwise made by Rev. Thomas has dazzled even those who were close to him in the work. The rapidity with which he has ascended is due to the fact that he has worked with his hands and his brains. Near the Mt. Olivet Church body he presides with a great degree of ease and dignity; and it is expected that through that medium he will accomplish great good for the Old Folks Home and the nomination at large. Yours in the work, S. B. Riverside, Cal., Nov. 17th. The California Eagle there towers a beautiful and modern apartment valued at a cost of $5,500 emblematic of the handicraft of the Rev., owned by him and is occupied by some of the most substantial residents of Santa Barbara. Rev. Thomas has been instrumental in placing a number of Colored people in good positions in Santa Barbara, and doing whatever he could to settle that section with reliable willing workers. Thus trying to do whatever he may for the future development of Colored people in this State, and that section. We have but briefly and partially outlined the accomplishments of a young man who was an orphan and who climbed from servitude to service with such speed that the envy of some of his fellowcitizens has been kindled. For today he is a tax-payer of property in California and Florida respectively valued at $15,000. For two successive terms Rev. Thomas has represented the Baptists of this state at the National Baptist Convention, and is the present moderator of the Western Baptist Association, over which body he presides with a great deal of ease and dignity; and it is expected that through that medium he will accomplish great good for the Old Folks Home and the denomination at large. Yours in the work, S. B. Riverside, Cal., Nov. 17th. MEMORIAL SOUVENIR BUTTONS, DR. BOOKER T.

Gordon McPherson, Director of Publicity, Eagle office, 814 Central ave., or 1632 East 14th street, Los Angeles, Calif. The Editor or Managing Editor of this paper regret very much the postponement of our trip to the northern part of the state. We were forced to cancel our speaking dates and trip. on account of the rush of work incident to the death of Dr. Washington, which was such that needed our personal attention. We are rearranging our itinerary, of which all will have due notice. 1 MT. OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH COLORED CHORUS FEATURES MEMORIAL SERVICES IN MEMORY OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AT GLENWOOD INN. ARE LARGELY ATTENDED. The memorial service, paying tribute to the greatest man of our Race, Booker T. Washington, given the the cloister music room of the Mission Inn Wednesday night, Nov. 17th, was a grand affair of the season. The program was made up by the Colored people of the city, consisting of choruses, solos, duets and speeches by some of the best talent of Riverside, California. Mr. F. A. Miller opened both his heart and the hotel for the occasion. The music room was beautifully decorated. On the stage were pictures both of Booker T. Washington and Abraham Lincoln, in large illuminated frames. Mr. F. A. Miller introduced Mayor Ford as master of ceremonies. Mr. Ford introduced the meeting by saying, "We are paying respect to not only the greatest man of the Negro race, but --- NOTICE one of the greatest of any race that ever lived." A chorus of 25 voices /sang "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," "Old Time Religion" and "Old Black Joe," all favorites of Mr. Booker T. Washington. "Whispering Hope," a duet by Mrs. W. H. Bacon and Mrs. J. W. Allen was beautifully rendered as was also the solo "Face to Face" by Mrs. Bacon. Ormand Wilson sang "Pass It On" in a sweet tenor which was enjoyed by all. The speakers of the evening were Rev. Horace Porter, Rev. W. D. Hardeman, Rev. H. C. Redd and A. S. Mead. All paid high tribute to our great Colored leader, suggesting that the Black man's burden was now the white man's burden as well. Rev. Porter recited "Crossing the Bar" and the Twenty-third Psalm, both favorites of Mr. Booker T. Washington. Mrs. Alice Streeter read a paper giving a sketch of the life of Mr. Washington, and when she finished one could readily see what hardships he had to overcome to attain what he did in life. A short and timely talk was given by Mrs. W. D. Hardeman who captivated the audience with the sweet tones of her voice and most flowery words. I will say for Mrs. W. D. Hardeman, she is a natural born lecturer, a number of the white people are very anxious to hear her speak, again and she has also been invited to speak elsewhere in the city. During the six years of Mrs. Hardeman's mission tour she has listened to a great many of Mr. Booker T. Washington's speeches, which THE MUSEUM OF THE WEST will never die out in her memory. Rev.-W. D. Hardeman is pastoring the First Baptist church in Perris, Cal. He and his loving wife are both employed in the Glenwood Hotel. They are now rooming and boarding in the old Glenwood building, No. 653 West 6th street, Riverside California. They are moving along very quietly and making no noise, but are making good every inch of the way. You will hear more about these good people when their little daughter, Miss Gertrude Lucetta Gotier, the nightingale, the sweet singer, returns from the Western University of Quindaro, Kansas, next summer. Miss Gotier in this same school last term made two years in sewing and millinery in one term. Now may God bless all that are interested in our race and its welfare. God bless our race.

BIG DEAL CLOSED Seals Garden Leased for Ten Years by M. A. Cooper & Co. To be a High Class Amusement Park for the Colored People. What is to be the finest amusement park in the United States for Colored people is the plans now under way by M. A. Cooper and Geo. A. Ramsey. Both of these men have had a world of experience in this one of work. When The Eagle reporter got the news of this gigantic plan they were first to get an interview with the heads of the company, finding Mr. Cooper and Mr. Ramsey in the suite of rooms in Wesley-Roberts building, Third and Main street. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Ramsey both talked freely concerning their plans. The company contemplate putting in a swimming pool second to none on the Pacific Coast and the only one ever opened for Colored only. The dance hall will resemble a large flower garden with beautiful lattice work in flowers and shrubbery, the cafe will be first class in every way with the best entertainers obtainable. Mr. Virgil Williams, the well known cafe man, will probably be in charge. The skating rink will accommodate 100 couple at one time. An theater for motion pictures will be one of the many free attractions for the ever-loving public. The big novelty will be the days of 49 camp, giving you a realistic reproduction of the days of gold in the mad rush to California. The old fashioned dance hall, gambling hall where you will be allowed to play the games of chance for fun and with Confederate money, fortune tellers, and in fact all the things to help make the wild scene that appeared in the days of gold, but all will be innocent pleasure. The zoo will consist of many wild animals. A band of twenty pieces will for the use of those that enjoy the great pastime. The management will donate a beautiful cup to the THE PEOPLES FORUM Number 42 ington Seal Garden Amusement Co. give concerts afternoon and evening. The grounds will be beautified with lawns and flowers making it alone a sight worth going miles to see. We are also providing for women and children. The playgrounds will have all the latest hobbies for the small tots to enjoy themselves to their heart's content, as Mr. Cooper is a great lover of children. The picnic grounds will be the Mecca for picnics, tables, benches and many other things that will make it second to none. The tennis court will equal or surpass any in town, and will be M, A, Cooper club having the highest average per season. With bowling alleys and many other attractions which will help to amuse you at all times, our motto is not to have a dull minute, but something doing all the time. All we want is the support of the people. We expect to have a 5c fare to the gates and then charge 10c admission to the park. Work will start in the near future and we plan to open in the spring.

My Dear Mr. Earl:—In behalf of the colored citizenship of Los Angeles and Southern California in general I want to express to you sincere thanks and appreciation for the splendid, many and thoroughly American attitude which you and your newspapers have assumed in the past. I will particularly upon the recent occasion of the death of our great leader, Booker T. Washington. In common with the other minor peoples of this great and growing empire of the Southwest, the colored citizens of this section of the country are immeasurably indebted to your splendid spirit of fair play as evidenced not only in your personal attitude towards the minor peoples of this Southwest empire but in the attitude of your two great newspapers—the Los Angeles Morning Tribune and the Los Angeles Evening Express. These two publications in our humble estimation are doing more to build out of the heterogeneous mass of settlers who have come and are coming into this great and new Southern California a mighty and effective common people than any other publications in our midst. Quickly fairly and effectively do these publications reflect the characteristics of the people of California and give you a point to their opinions on all matters of public import. And the colored people in common with their brethren in this great community are not only appreciative of the great service which you have rendered and are rendering in their behalf and in behalf of our community at large, but they are willing and ready to contribute in some proportionate measure and more substantially than ever before towards the support of your two great publications. And if it be not presumptuous on my part, I would like to make the suggestion that the circulation department of your publications in collaboration with some of the representatives of the colored people of Southern California put in operation a plan by means of which a larger number of the colored citizens of Southern California may be enrolled upon a subscription list of the Los Angeles Tribune and the Los Angeles Express for I am confident that publications of the character and force of the Tribune and Express should limit their circulation only by the entire population of the community which they serve.

Particular mention is made of the recent editorials and cartoons published in the Evening Express and Morning Tribune in tribute to the memory of the late Booker T. Washington. Hugh E.

By RALPH E. MORRISON Dr. Booker T. Washington died in the prime of life from work and nervous prostration at the age of 57. A great age is 90 years. A marvelous age is 158 years, in this generation. Yet there are in the United States today, according to Government statistics, thousands of men and women who have reached ages between these two. There are hun- --- dreds who have passed the century mark. Six hundred and seventy-two living men and women (281 men and 291 women) Dr. Davis found in thirty states of this country who had reached 90 years. One hundred and thirty-five of these had reached or passed the century mark. One, Mrs. L. E. Killcrease of Pine Hills, Tex., is 138 years old! She is, without doubt, the oldest woman in the world. She has a daughter nearly 100 years old. In the year since he began his scientific investigation into the growing-old problem Dr. Davis has interviewed 107 of the 672 persons of great age. He had a list of more than 200 set questions which he asked them all. The data he obtained is startling in many of its results. "I desired to learn what habits and conditions help most to make man well and vigorous and live long—what ones cripple and destroy him too soon," said the doctor. "I wanted to know just what influences make us healthy, energetic and optimistic, which ones help us to obtain the most comfort, service and happiness from our lives, and which ones prevent us from attaining these desired results." All Stages of Prosperity The old persons found were in all stages of prosperity. The range was from Thomas Morris, 121 years old, of Westerville, Neb., who begged tobacco or food supplies as pay to answer Dr. Davis' questions, to Levi P. Morton, 91 years old, merchant, banker, diplomat, former Congressman, Governor and Vice-President of the United States, and Henry Gassoway Davis, 93, a hundred-fold millionaire, former United States Senator and one-time Democratic candidate for the second biggest public office in the gift of the people, both of whom still gird themselves daily for work. There was one great outstanding fact that towered above all others in its unanimous answer. That was that all persons who have reached great age did, at least in the first part of their lives, live out of doors almost continually and that they always had ventilation in their sleeping rooms. Old persons depend very little on medicine. Most of them were very fond of sweets, which are supposed to be rheumatism breeders. Salt and pepper only in very small quantities have ever been used by the old people. Some never use condiments of any kind. Practically all are users in goodly quantities of milk, either sweet or buttermilk. They have always been cheerful and great laughers. They never worried. All worked hard all their lives, including the millionaires. Many children in a family seems to have been no drawback to reaching old age, although the average seems to bring the proper number to from three to five children. The data shows that a fat man or woman has as much chance of growing old as a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. It could be done, but there is only one such instance in the data. The women, especially, are small, averaging around 125 pounds all their lives. The old people always have been great sleepers. The majority always went to bed between 8 and 9:30 o'clock and rose from 4 to 6 in the morning. Perhaps the best known as well as the most prominent old people in the country—men who have been leaders in different fields—are Levi P. Morton, 91 years, of New York; Henry Gassoway Davis, 98 years, of West Virginia, and Colonel Robert T. Van Horn, 92 years old, of Kansas City, Mo. The late Mrs. Electa Kennedy, 105 years old at her death, of Healdsburg (Cal.) was an anaemic when young. Hers is a remarkable case. She weighed only 106 pounds at 20 years. She was always a hearty eater and had many of the children's diseases. She had a high temper. She ate a great deal of sugar, candy and sweets. She ate much cake. She did housework until 101 years. She said before her death that the reason she lived so long was: "I have always lived in the country, eaten what I liked, had regular habits, an active mind and was always interested in current events." Mrs. Bosamond Emery, 101 years old, of Portland, Ore., said: "In all the years of my life I have never let a habit govern me, no medicine, wholesome food and two meals a day." "Huckleberry" B. F. Finn, the original of Mark Twain's "Huck," still lives at the age of 90 in Eugene, Ore. He is a hunter and a fiddler. [From The Scrap Book, by J. D.

ATION f The Western Association of Short- tine Railroads will appeal to Congress at the coming session for relief from the present method of fixing the pay allotted to the railrods for carrying the mails. Several of these roads are in Nevada. In view of the many charges and counter-charges between the railroads, the Postoffice Depart- ment and certain patrons of the serv- ice, it is strange that this matter has not long ago been more thoroughly threshed out, not merely with refer- ence to the shorter lines; but to the transcontinental and interstate lines as well. The Interstate Commerce Commission has been given full pow- er of regulation over passenger and freight charges. The carriers are limited to rates fixed by that com- mission, whose function it is to as- certain operating costs, including maintenance costs. The commission is responsible to the people ‘for a policy that will give them a satisfac- tory service without excessive rates. It has corrected many abuses on the part of the railroads, and has in other instances gone so far as to make proper sgrvice with proper maintenance impossible. It has no doubt forced more than one railroad into the hands of a receiver. ‘The commission has, nevertheless, shown a disposition to correct its own errors when pointed out, and the public has more confidence in the I.

C. in matters of equity between the people and the railroads than they have in the Postoffice Depart- ment, which is always more or less closely allied with politics—general- ly more—and whose chief is apt to be looking more keenly for a record for himself than for abstract justice or permanent efficiency, in either postal or general transportation ser- vice. He is one man, always a poli- tician; the commission is composed of seven, all as independent of poli- tics as the members of the Suprema Court, and presumably appointed with special reference to their quali- fication for the important service re- quired of them. \ The Tribune will not assume to pass upon the rates of mail pay now existing, but the fact that the roads, or a group of them, prefer the I. C. C. as an arbiter rather than the Postoffice Department, would indi- cate that they believe, at least, that they have a grievance. The private shipper cannot dictate terms to the railroad company, nor can the com- pany dictate terms to the private shipper. Then what possible logic or consistency is there in permitting an executive department of the Gov- ernment, with a single head, to over- rule the authority: or question the integrity and fairness of that very commission which the same Govern- ment has established as a court of arbitration between the railroads and people? If the Government itself, as represented by the Postoffice De- partment, has no confidence in the I. C. C., how can the Government ex- pect the people to accept its rulings without complaint? If the I. C. C., after its 28 years of experience and with its big corps of transportation experts, cannot find where equity lies ;@s between the railroads and the Postoffice Depaftment, the commis- ison stiould Be dissolved and jts work transferred to the postmaster en eral. Let the Government and tho people have the same arbiter, and the sauce.for the goose be sufficient for the gander. Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson preached a remarkable sermon last Sunday morning at Shiloh Baptist ‘Church, which resulted in one acces- sion to the church. He has been se- ured.to-give his fanious lecture on ‘the “Daring Charge of the Famous ‘Bjack Fighting Regiment in the Bat- je of San Juan Hill" at Pasadena ‘daring ‘the first week’ in December. ‘At an early date he will assist-Rev.

In recounting their blessings of the last year, the members of the| Woman's: Day Nursery Association wish to thank all who, through their kindness, have directly helped to make it possible for the Nursery to open each day her doors’ to the lit- tle ones needing her shelter and pro- tection. And to the ever generous and benevolent public who. have come forward at the call of those in ‘the lead. | When: the _invitation to participate in the “baby parade” of the Juvenile Exposition came to us, it was almost impossible with so many needs to expend the necessary money for a float and decoration, but help came from Mr. 8. P. Dones, who offered the use of his automo- bile, then the money for the decora- tion which amounted to. twenty-five dollars was collected in two days by Mrs, Sarah Jones, the result made glad the hearts by our representation In the parade. ‘Then came a liberal donation from the State Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs. Then the “Dance Revue” for the benefit of the Nursery which was the result of the tireless and efficient efforts of Mrs, Ellsworth Saunders, and the amount made from the ' entertain- ment enabled the board to reduce the indebtedness of the Nursery from $700 to $600. Realizing through her great musical mentality, the need of an instrument in the nursery, both for the influence upon the children and the help for the Association's meetings, Mrs. Lauretta Butler as- sumed the responsibility of placing a piano in the nursery and gave an entertainment which enabled her to do so. Ever since the Nursery was opened that great and philanthropic organization known as the Los An- geles Forum, has always come to the assistance of the members and helped at the most needed times. So next they came forward with “A Day Nursery Day,” and had a splendid lecture by Mr. McWilliams, the-May- or’s secretary, which netted in cash and subscriptions $43.06. By our connection with the Charities Com- mision we seceived 91 pieces of new clothing made by the Branch of the Needlework Guild of America. These fill_a great need of the little ones. From the sale of refreshments at an entertainment given by the Young Men's Alliance of Pasadena, was real- ized $10.00, Among those’ who have aided the Nursery from the start, is Mr. Brown, the furniture dealer. He has helped in furnishing from time to time and has never urged payment’in stringent times, Also one whose services have been indispensable and have been given faithfully and al- ways “without money and without price,” is Dr. Leonard Stovall. There have’ been many persons who have aided in gifts of clothing, provisions and house furnishings whose names are too numerous to mention, but their acts have made it possible for the nursery to celebrate this Thanks- giving, which they do in gladness of heart for these blessings in abund- ance at a time the world has felt a “hardness of times,” Now to all friends of humanity as you celebrate your day of Thanks- giving and approach the holiday sea- son let us remember all God's little ones who are less fortunate. With grateful thanks, The Woman's Day Nursery Ass'n. . 1322 Channing St. A TREAT WORTH HEARING Every Sunday evening at the East Highth Street Christian Church, dur- ing the Endeavor services, which begin promptly at 7 ‘o'clock, Bro. MeMickens delivets one of a series of topics on Moral Science. All the subjects of the series for the season are published each week in the “Eagle.” He spéke last Sunday on “Conduct in the Church.” He espe- cially called our attention to going to sleep in church and sitting when the leader asks all to stand. He said in many cases it showed contempt. His subjects, the two Sundays pre- vious, “Conduct on the Street,” and “Cleanliness,” were especially good and all who heard them were great- ly enlightened. Loud and boisterous talking and acting of the styeets, he-said, show- ed the height of impoliteness and ig- norance, and low qualities of charac- ter. He stated, too, that men should always, when accompanying women. succeed them one step im’ going up steps, and precede them one step in coming down. He could easily assist her then, should she fall. He stated that cleanliness showed godliness, and the cleaner one kept his entire body, the more intelligent he ap- peared. Next Sunday, Bro. McMickens will speak on gallantry. All are made welcome at our church at all times. PROVIDENCE. BAPTIST INSTITU- ‘TIONAL CHURCH Last Sunday. Pastor Williams preached ‘from: the most interesting subject, “Who Is God?” It is won- derful. what great truths were brought out of the subject. Next Sunday his subjects will be “Who is the Holy Ghost?” and “Jesus and His hours of prayer.

It is very much hoped that the members and friends will be very generous in their contributions. »The contri- butions given on Trustee's day are used in defraying the month- ly expense of the church and as- sists greatly in paying the inter- est on our loan. Again with catlike tread in the still watch of the night the grim reaper has visited our flock and removed from our midst our be- loved sister, Fannie Henderson, a devout Christian who was called from labor to reward Thursday afternoon, Noy. 18th. We shall miss her association, her stirring testimonies on Sabbath morn- ings. and her presence on the Stewardess Board. of which she was a dutiful member, but our loss is heaven's gain. Sleep on, old brave warrior, battle-scarred veteran of the cross, enjoy thy rest, a rest that remaineth for the ple of God On Monday evening of this week the presiding elders of the mock conference served a Span- ish supper in the basement of the church in honor of the bishops, pastors and-members. . Everyone present enjoyed themselves. ‘Phursday evening, Dec. 2nd, at Masonic hall, 6th and: Market streets, there will be a debate and concert given by male members and friends of the church under the direction of Sisters Hattie Freemaf and Anna Benton.

There are a goodly num- ber of inactive members who without any. expressed reasons are not helping to lighten the bur- den and responsibilities of the church. We would remind you dear ones that a neglected oppor- tunity to labor in the vineyard of the Master, especially when such opportunity is so evident, is, or at least it ought to be a matter of much concern to those who ¢laim to have been divinely chosen san ambassador for the King.

After paying for one year's subscription to The California Eagle and talking on a few of the important points of life, left on the midnight train. He was accompanied by one of the Santa Fe very intelligent porters, Mr. Washington. Mr. A. C. Brown, red cap of Los Angeles, made the round trip to San Diego Sunday. Mr. E. J. Freeman, parlor car porter, has taken a layoff for a few days. We notie the picture of our old friend E. M. Dauchey. He is almost as perfect as he was sixty years ago. Our original standby making his get away in the front of the station, as usual is the man who always makes good, our baseball friend, B. F. Spivey. M. Felix and P. Collwell, the Spanish interpreters, are seen among the Palms. A. L. Brookins, the ladies' man, is seen around the corner with a lovely dame, evidently making love as usual. The reporter has visited the race track in Tia Juana, Mexico, and walked upon the new track. They were placing hard surface upon the circle, however, the steam shovel was out of commission and approximately there were more than 200 men at work on the grandstand, which is more than one-third complete. And had personal interviews with some of the owners of the club as to the exact opening date. The press is not in position to say at present, but watch The Eagle for the big opening results. Rube Foster's American Giants play at Athletic Park Saturday and Sunday. The New Kerckhoff building, when completed at Sixth and Los Angeles will be occupied by the Santa Fe General Office. I asked a man the other day why he dressed so odd. His reply was, because people take me for a d——fool. I make a good living by it. Do you blame me? What the Hobo Said to J. P. Silent was the night. Slow was the train. So said the hobo. I take my sleeper here below. So no one can see me swing off at San B doo.

THE CALIFORNIA, EAGLE, SAN DIEGO, CAL Gentlemen: Herewith find $1.50 for which please send The California Eagle to Name Street City or Town County Sta The National Independent Equal Rights League earnestly requests that you form a Semi-Centennial Equal Rights Citizens Committee of your Colored community which shall undertake: 1st. Show to the world the Colored Americans' appreciation of Freedom by a public celebration of the Semi-Centennial of the Thirteenth Amendment on Sunday, December 19, 1915. (The exact date is Dec. 18, Saturday. A church edifice and afternoon service are recommended.) 2nd. Incidentally to the above, to send a delegate or delegates to the National Colored American Rights Congress, Dec. 15-16 by the League, and National Celebration of the Thirteenth Amendment Centennial, Dec. 17, in Philadelphia, Pa. Long has it been said, "Who would be free themselves must strike the blow;" 1915 is the half-century year of our freedom. The white South and other forces have worked mightily toward abridging our freedom and rights in the South and even in the North. We Colored Americans would be unworthy of the heroes and martyrs, white and black, who gave us freedom, citizenship and the ballot; should the fiftieth anniversary of the Thirteenth Amendment pass unnotfeed by us in any large community, and should the year pass out without a national rights convention of these Colored citizens who alone in this republic are for race insulted, segregated, disfranchised and lynched, which convention the eighth annual meeting of the Equal Rights League at Philadelphia, Dec. 15, makes possible? We trust and pray that you will form this Equal Rights Committee and begin work at once on the local celebration. Do not ignore or neglect or forget this request. Arouse your Colored leaders and masses. Send us word as you progress. Sound a clarion on note for enfranchisement and against segregation, on Freedom Sunday, Dec. 19, 1915. Byron Gunner, President; Wm. Monroe Trotter, Secretary, National Independent Equal Rights League. The Eaglets Thanksgiving social at Kastle Hall was largely attended.

C., to Superintendent Allan Pollock of Dining Car Department: "Believing that you will be pleased to hear of especial good services rendered by your employees, I am prompted to call your attention to the fact that the porter on buffet car No. 3080, on a recent trip from San Francisco to Chicago, showed that your confidence in him is well placed. "The writer gave him a $5.00 gold piece through error in the dark for a newspaper. The porter himself did not learn of this until several hours later, and then hunted me up and returned it, at the same time refusing to accept any reward, saying "It was the Southern Pacific's manner of doing things." "This little act of loyalty to the Company's interests upon his part I felt could not go unmentioned. Hence my reason for addressing you today." J. M. Acty is the porter referred to by Mr. Baker. He has been with the Company since 1912. The Southern Pacific is one of the biggest institutions in the West. It has between thirty and forty thousand men on its payroll. It pays more taxes than any other Pacific Coast corporation, and it patronizes home industry whenever possible. A WONDERFUL TRIP AND A WONDERFUL ROAD, SAYS THOS. A. EDISON Thomas A. Editson, America's inventive genius, selected the Ogden Route of the Southern Pacific for his transcontinental journey to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. On his arrival in San Francisco his first words were in praise of the smoothness of the Southern Pacific track over which he passed. "Wonderful trip," he said. "Wonderful road I traveled on. The Southern Pacific's tracks are as near perfection, I suppose, as they make railroads." These appreciative words are gratifying. Such a tribute from such a source is more than a compliment. It is another evidence that Southern Pacific is not only "First in Safety," but that it can justly claim to be among the very first in comfort also. Mr. Edison's statement goes to confirm the opinion of the jury of award at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, which recently conferred on the Southern Pacific Company the Grand Prize for railway track, equipment, motive power and "Safety First" appliances.

Reynolds.] NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS CONVENTION IN PHILADELPHIA, DECEMBER 15-17 Colored People Asked to Make December 19th Semi-Centennial of Freedom Sunday in Every "Freedom Centennial Week," the week ending Dec. 19th, 1915, and including Dec. 18, which is the exact fifteenth anniversary date of the enactment of the Thirteenth Amendment, has been chosen as the time, and Philadelphia, chief city of the state of Thaddeus Stevens, where the Declaration of Independence was framed and declared, has been taken as the place, by the National Independent Equal Rights League for its eighth annual meeting. This League, which started in 1908 on a protest against the Brownsville discharge and won most fame by its protest against Federal segregation to the face of a Southern Democrat president who broke his pledges, believes that this real fifthth anniversary year of freedom should end with a civic observance by means of a great National meeting, together in conference of the Colored people of this country. This eighth annual meeting will be held Dec. 15-16, in the beautiful Allen A. M. E. church, pastored by the militant race champion, Rev. W. S. Carpenter, All Colored Americans, who will, whether they are members of this particular league now or not, but who are honestly and earnestly contending in the cause of full liberty and full equality of rights are invited.

THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST, Cor. Eighth and Wall Sts. Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor. The wonderful preaching of Rev. Greggs is doing a great good. As a result of his impressive sermons on last Sunday, four more converts joined the Church, making a total of nine converts for the last two Sundays, aside from many other accessions. A most harmonious church conference was held on last Monday evening. Boards of Deacons, Deaconesses, Auxiliary Deaconesses and Stewards were appointed. J. J.
